Title: Vanguard 20-60x82mm Endeavor HD 82A - OR - Vortex Diamondback
Post by: Wazukie on October 06, 2017, 05:54:53 AM: As the title says? Any one have experience with either one? My price cap is $500 so please don't suggest something that cost more. I know there is better options, but this poor missionary can't afford the "better" more costly options :tup:

Thanks in advance.

Most of the stuff I have read on the Vanguard, guys put it up there more with the Viper, but that’s just me reading other people’s opinions.
